    Abstract: Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is a highly toxic pollutant that poses a significant threat to human health and the environment. Electrocoagulation is a promising technology for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. This work reviews and evaluates statistical models developed in different studies published between 2015 and 2021 on the removal of Cr(VI)... Show More

    Abstract: This work investigated the biodetoxification of oilfield produced water (OPW) using indigenous microbial consortium in discontinuous aerobic biological treatment (Bio-Unit) system. The pilot scale Bio-Unit has a single tank that is operated cyclically. The Bio-Unit performance was compared with that of an extant physical treatment unit (PTU) of a c... Show More
